SWAT team responds to incident Saturday

LAS CRUCES — The Las Cruces Police SWAT team was called out at about 3 p.m. Saturday to a home off Rniconada in response to a domestic violence incident with injuries, spokesman Dan Trujillo said.

SWAT team members waited for hours to obtain a warrant, Trujillo said. When they went in, the person they were looking for was not there. The woman involved in the incident was taken to a local hospital, Trujillo said.

Residents in the area reported on social media that police snipers were stationed on rooftops and residents were asked to stay inside during the incident, which they said took about eight hours.
